Speedometer
WARNING
Travel at speeds appropriate for road and conditions and never travel faster than posted speed limit. Excessive speed can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00008a)
See
Figure 1 and
Figure 2. The speedometer registers miles per hour (U.S. models) or kilometers per hour (international models) of forward speed.
The speedometer includes a single display window for the odometer, two trip-odometers, and tip indicator.
Press the function button to change the display window on the speedometer face to either odometer or trip-odometer.
Odometer
See
Figure 1 and
Figure 2. The odometer registers the number of miles/kilometers the vehicle has traveled. The odometer can display mileage when the motorcycle is on or off by pressing the function button. There is no need to turn the motorcycle on to check the odometer reading.
Trip Odometers
Use trip-odometer A or trip-odometer B to register number of miles/kilometers traveled on a trip or between refueling. The ignition/headlamp key switch must be in the IGNITION or ACCESSORY position to view or reset the trip-odometers.
See
Figure 1 and
Figure 2. To view the trip-odometer, press the function button until an A or B is displayed in the upper left corner of the odometer window.
To reset a trip-odometer to zero, press the function button to select the trip-odometer to be reset. Press and hold the function button for approximately 2-3 seconds until the trip-odometer resets to zero.
NOTICE
Never attempt to tamper with or alter the vehicle odometer. This is illegal. Tampering with or altering a vehicle odometer may cause equipment damage. (00160a)
Tachometer
NOTICE
See OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS section. Do not operate the engine above maximum safe RPM as shown under OPERATION (red zone on tachometer). Lower the RPM by upshifting to a higher gear or reducing the amount of throttle. Failure to lower RPM may cause equipment damage. (00159a)
See
Figure 1 and
Figure 2. The tachometer measures engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM).
Tip Indicator Lamp
WARNING
If tip occurs, check all controls for proper operation. Restricted control movement can adversely affect the performance of the brakes, clutch or ability to shift, which could result in loss of vehicle control and death or serious injury. (00350a)
Should motorcycle be tipped over, the word "tip" will appear in the odometer window. Engine will not start until reset. To reset, cycle ignition/headlamp key switch ON-OFF-ON.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate amount of fuel in the fuel tank(s) and is located to left of the speedometer or on the left front panel of the fairing.
NOTE
The FLHP left side fuel cap is a fuel gauge only. Do not remove.
Voltmeter (FLHTP)
The voltmeter indicates electrical system voltage and is found on the front panel of the fairing. With the engine running above 1500 RPM, the voltmeter should register 13-14.5 volts with battery at full charge.
